International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), established in 1977, continued in 1990 to provide concessional financial assistance to agricultural projects in low-income, food-deficit countries. The Fund aimed to increase food output while retaining environmental sustainability and focusing on support for poor rural women. By year’s end, IFAD had committed a cumulative total of more than $3,100 million of its own resources to 292 projects in 93 developing countries.
